Online resources: Summary: Examines the economic, social and environmental impacts on rural localities and communities of new investment, and seeks to answer: how can the benefits of new money flowing into rural areas be maximised and how can potential negative externalities be mitigated? Through ten case studies from across Europe (including Trump International Golf Links in Scotland, Moominworld Ltd in Finland and James Dyson's Beeswax Farming Ltd in the UK) assessed against an appraisal framework, the report covers both existing activities and land uses, such as a vineyard and farming, and transformational changes, including a theme park, golf course and renewable energy. The report finds many examples of good local relationships between investors and communities that are delivering positive outcomes, but also examples characterised by growing mistrust and suspicion.
